Rainbow Dash's Fear (?)

[Feather Hooves 4]

Hi there Feather Hooves again,

 

 

So I started thinking (dangerous nowadays) about rainbow dash.

 

Has anyone noticed how she doesn't like to be on the ground (she naps on clouds and in the trees. She even lives on a cloud, as well as when twilight was trying to help her study she couldn't sit still because she wasn't flying)

 

Then an idea hit me, what if she at one point had the same issue as scootaloo and she couldn't fly. (Of course one day she figures out how to fly and joined the speedster flight school) but it caused this fear that if she stayed on the ground she'd forget how to fly or wouldn't be able to anymore. . . ideas or comments?

 

Thanks!

Hm, that is some really good observation, hypothesis or theory

Just letting you know that I moved your topic to Show Discussion as it pertained to a character.

 

Thanks.

I wouldn't say it is a fear, but more an aspect on her personality. She seems to take flying incredibly seriously, to the point of almost never needing the ground. Flying is her life it would seem. Flying super fast. Who needs walking when you have zooming n the air? :3

She just can't sit still. That's all.

Maybe that'll happen in the season finale.

I honestly don't find this likely.

Don't we already have enough pegasi that had or have trouble flying like Fluttershy, Scootaloo and Bulk Biceps?

I like this head canon. I always noticed that Rainbow Dash always choses to fly instead of walk and even hover instead of stand, but I just figured it was because she loves flying so much. Your idea is way more interesting. Now I'm thinking maybe it's not a fear of losing her ability to fly that scares her, maybe she's just scared of the ground the way others are afraid of heights. It's funny to think that RD gets dizzy if she's too low to the ground for too long. XD
